...visible to the naked eve. Sir John Herschel conjectures that, in some instances, there are "ten or twenty thousand stars, compacted and wedged together...angular diameter does not exceed eight or ten minutes ; that is, an area not more than a tenth part of that covered by the moon." What is worthy of especial... | |
